THE WEDDING RING,
The lover gave the wedding ring
Into the go!dsmlth's hand,
Grave me-" said he, "a tender thought
Within this golden band"
The goldsmith gravod
With cunelng art;
"lill death us part"
The wedding bells eNulting rang,
The husband said; 80 wife!
Together we will share the grief
The happiness of life;
give to thee
Ny hand, my heart,
Tin death us part"
Then lifted she his noble hand
(Oh, love, that this should bcO
Which her had wed with golden band
And whispered, tendcrly;
It'll death us join,
Lo! thou art mine
And am thine.
"And, when death joins, we never more
Shall know an aching heart;
The bridal of that better love
Death has no power to part:
The troth will be
For thee and me,
= Eternallyw
So, up the hill and down the hill,
Through fifty changing years
They shared each others happiness;
They dried each others tears.
Alas! Alas
That deaths cold dart
Such love should part! .
But, one sad day, she stood alone
Beside his narrow bed:
She drew the ring from oil her hand,
And to the goldsmith said;
30 man, who graved
With cunning art
Till death us part.
Now grave four words for me;
'lill death us join" He took
The precious golden band once more
With solemn, wiStfui look
And wrought with care
For love, not coin,
Till death us join"

cher, who Is one Of the board of select
men of the town, was away ors business,
but his son Charles, who has most of the
care of the horses, took great pains to en-
terrain rs during cur haSiy visit. Mr.
Fletcher has Il fine stock of cattle and
sheep which is looking nicely and show
the good care which they receive. After
spending some time in looking over the
stock, Mr. +. took us into the horse de
